The Vaticano district was one of the four districts of Rome, on the west bank of the Tiber River and the location of some of Rome's greatest landmarks, such as the Basilica di San Pietro, the Capella Sistina, and the Castel Sant'Angelo.
History
In the 16th century, Ezio fled from the Basilica di San Pietro and the Vatican guards with the help of his uncle Mario. Later, after obtaining its location from Lucrezia Borgia, Ezio raced to the Vatican to obtain the Apple before Cesare Borgia got a hold of it.
It was the only district in Rome that didn't include any shops and it was the only district that did not need renovating. It was the smallest of the four districts in the city, and there were two doctors and two pigeon coops. The Vatican district also housed a Lair of Romulus. Ezio could not access the district via the use of tunnels, as it could only be accessed via the Centro district or a gondola.
Trivia
- The two highest structures in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the Basilica di San Pietro and the Castel Sant'Angelo, are both found in this district.
- This is the only district that Cardinals can be seen outside of missions.
- Strangely, when Ezio crosses the border that separates the Vaticano district from the Central district, the sky's color changes greatly. This is due to the fact that unlike the rest of Rome, this district never falls out of Borgia ruling.
- It is the only district to feature Papal Guards, excluding storyline missions.
